Which Tires Should I Choose for My Car or Truck?

Ask Merced, and let us put our expertise to work for you.

If you've noticed that your car doesn't handle as well as it used to, or you've seen that your tires are getting a little worn, it may be time for a new set of tires. Many customers ask us which tires we suggest for individual cars and trucks. Choosing the right ones is an important decision because you'll have those tires for three to six years, and it's a big investment.

Here's a quick guide to help you decide which tires are best for you.

First, if you like the tires on your current car, you can simply buy the same or similar ones. New tires will handle better, make less road noise, and be safer, for you, and for your family. If you're looking for different (or better) tires, we have a great selection of all the top brands in the Central Valley: Goodyear, Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli, Yokohama, Continental, and more. Each manufacturer has a range of tires for different needs: all-season, touring, all-terrain, and more.

The brand you choose may depend on your particular vehicle, your driving style, or brand loyalty. Call us at 877-216-6982 so we can make specific recommendations. We have competitive prices and great customer service.

In any category, there's always the option of good, better, or best tires, depending on how much money you want to spend. We can offer advice on that, as well.

What Should I Consider Before Buying New Tires?

When we recommend tires, we always consider your needs, and these four factors: quality, safety, handling, and price. We also need to know what you want from your new tires:

  • Do you want tires that handle well in the rain, snow or ice (if you leave California to go skiing in the winter)?
  • Do you prefer all-weather tires to get more grip, whether on wet or dry roads?
  • Do you need tires with deep tread because you go hiking, hunting or fishing, and drive on unpaved roads?
  • Or do you always choose performance tires because you like to drive fast and brake hard?
